Or, Kubuntu 16.04LTS, as well.
I had been using an SIXXS tunnel to get what http://ipv6-test.com calls a "native" IPv6 connection. SIXXS announced several months ago that they were shutting down in June so I began looking around for another tunnel. I tried Miredo for a while but that was unsatisfactory. ipv6-test rarely gave it more than a 12/20 rating, and it was slow. I decided to try Hurricane Electric's tunnel.
With it ipv6-test gave me a 20/20 connection. Here's how I set it up on my wired connection.
1) Give my wired connection a fixed local address. I used my wired's MAC address to always dispense 192.168.1.100 to it.
2) I created an account at Hurricane Electric and they created my tunnel.
3) When I got notice of my tunnel I logged onto Hurricane Electric and clicked on my tunnel link. That took me to a page which allowed me to select which OS I was running. I selected Debian/Ubuntu. I was presented with a list of commands to paste into /etc/network/interfaces. The list looked like this:
The dns-nameservers line I added to the file myself to get IPv6 DNS.
"a.b.c" replaces parts of my actual IPv6 address and ".x.y.z" replace what Hurricane put as their endpoint. The "local" setting is where you put your local IP address, not the IP address your ISP vends to you.
4) Reboot.
5) Test.
Note: this is for my wired connection. Because I am only 1 meter away from my router I use my wired connection. It is capable of 1Gbps while my wireless can do only about 54Mbps reliably. In a few weeks I am getting a 100Mbps connection and I want to use all of it so I am staying with the cable.
Now, my ipv6 test looks like this:

Now, my ipv6 test looks like this:
In America, about 25% do. If any of those websites shut off their IPv4 hardware you won't be able to see them if you do not have IPv6.
I get a 19/20 (no host name) on that test site ,,,,natively ,,,,,,no tunnel ,,,,with TWC/Spectrum
